I am new to IGT and here goes my 1st Post I am planning to buy a bass. Since I am a Lefty unfortunately my options are down to Givson and Givson only as they have a Factory in Kolkata where I live and they told that they would make any model with Lefty configuations My Budget is around 10k and I can strech it to at max 11k with Amps - No Processors Now so guys I need your help as to which Givson to buy and which amplifier Thanking You, FM King
Did u try Ibanez?? Go to Briganza and ask em if they have a lefty Ibanez bass.. in 10-12k range, tht's a very good option.. but my suggestion ud be tht u save the money and make it 20k b4 u go to buy sumthin... also.. u can contact lefty_guitarist in IGT... hez a lefty bassist from kolkata itself... so may b he'l b able to help ya...
^^ Yepp... another LP fan here.... :grin: If u cn't extend ur budget then go for IBANEZ... Though i am not a bassist, but i love to play bass. As far I know, In ur budget, tht's the best bass available...
went to braganza once... checked an Ibanez GIO Bass (didn't check the model name), can't remember the xact cost but it shud be around 10-12k... may b that one was the one u r talking about, but the sound was awesome...
The truth is better the bass the easier to play. I used to play a Givson bass..I found it hard while jamming..got my friends Fender Jazz 5 string..and wow.. .. =) Givson makes okay basses. I know many people who gig with them... Ibanez...go for a High end bass..thats a plea more than a suggestion =)
^^The difference is in the tone. Local pickups are not up to the mark. So, even if you are a good bassist, you would not get the sound needed. The Grooving sound doesn't come with these low cost basses. But yes, if you use an Equalizer , that'll improve the sound quite a lot.
hmmmm hey fm the thing is don listen to wateva they said......ive been playin guitar but i played as a bassist too for a band....now i hav pple here and well many pple hav consulted me before buyin stuff....wat id say is i hav played a ibanez some gio bass it was good hell yeah and ive played a high end givson model(high end givson lol) but id say i mean if ur beginner or an intermediate player its fine until n unless u are goin n performin wid some big names in the industry....givson basses are just fine.....anyhow the tone is not as such good....now all id like to tell ya is that u can go for some yamaha basses or anythin.......contact bajaao they can get ya a lefty bass any brand i suppose though itd take some time.......don worry......rock on
